I Want to Leave, You Can't Stop Me!

Watching Ning Rongrong flee in disarray, Lu Yuan pursed his lips speechlessly.

Look at this!

What kind of mess was this?

Stacking buffs before a fight was one thing, but the problem was that these buffs gave him absolutely no boost.

Of course, Lu Yuan had more or less guessed Ning Rongrong's intentions.

The face of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Little Princess might not have been worth much, but it was not worthless either. Under normal circumstances, it could at least save his miserable life.

Unfortunately, these were not normal circumstances.

"They're gone. We can continue."

A massive hammer shot through the air, hurtling straight toward Lu Yuan.

Then it passed through Lu Yuan's body and smashed viciously into the ground behind him, leaving behind an "ordinary" crater.

A trace of surprise flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.

With a beckoning gesture, the hammer flew back along its original path, once again passing through Lu Yuan's body.

"Uncle Tang Hao, I advise you not to waste your Soul Power."

"You can't hit me anyway."

Pretending not to notice the veins bulging on Tang Hao's forehead, Lu Yuan said with a grin.

Hmph!

Along with that brief snort, an ultimate ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red Soul Ring appeared around Tang Hao.

He was different from ordinary Titled Douluo.

A Titled Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year ninth Soul Ring was a core pillar of any major power, no matter where he went.

That was because a normal Titled Douluo's Soul Rings followed the standard configuration of two yellow, two purple, and five black.

In other words, Tang Hao had one more Soul Skill and one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone than an ordinary Titled Douluo!

"Clear Sky True Body!"

A deep, forceful roar rang out.

A blood-red giant figure holding an enormous hammer appeared behind Tang Hao, as though both he and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand had been enlarged dozens of times over.

Not only Lu Yuan, who faced this attack directly, but even Ning Rongrong and the others, who had already run far away, could clearly see the blood-red giant figure swing its huge hammer down with all its might!

Xiao Wu pressed her lips together tightly, stopped in her tracks, and stared with reddened eyes at the giant figure wielding the massive hammer, unwilling to give up.

Ning Rongrong sighed.

In a battle like this, let alone helping, they could not even stay to watch.

A Titled Douluo activating a Martial Soul Avatar was no joke!

Not to mention anything else, even she rarely saw Sword Grandfather or Bone Grandfather use their Martial Soul Avatars.

"He really is a Titled Douluo."

Xiao Wu stated that fact quietly, her voice more subdued than ever.

If she had still held any doubts before, wondering whether Lu Yuan had been deceiving her—

Then, seeing the enormous Martial Soul Avatar in the distance and feeling the pressure wash over her even from so far away, Xiao Wu had no choice but to crush the last shred of hope in her heart.

Tang San's father was a Titled Douluo!

Any ordinary girl would have been overjoyed.

Who would complain about having too many powerful backers?

But to Xiao Wu, this was the worst possible news!

It was even worse than Lu Yuan stealing her first kiss!

Xiao Wu had no choice but to temporarily accept and confront a cruel reality:

Had Tang Hao kept her around so Tang San could obtain her Soul Ring in the future, or—

Obtain her bones in the future?

The two choices did not seem all that different.

At most, the first meant she could die more easily, while the second meant she might die more horribly.

After learning the truth, when Xiao Wu looked back on all of Tang San's past promises and attempts to please her, they seemed more like a premeditated scheme!

Tang San was different from her!

Tang San was a pure human!

And Xiao Wu clearly knew that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Though she, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, was a little naive, in terms of intelligence and thought, she was no less capable than an ordinary adult!

So—

How could Tang San, just a child, have endured her antics and tolerated everything she did?

Or perhaps—

From the moment they entered Notting Academy, Tang San had already learned her identity from his father, Tang Hao!

If that was true, it was truly terrifying!

It meant that she had spent six years sleeping in a beautiful dream woven jointly by two demons wearing human skin!

And when she woke up again, she might already be laid out on a dinner plate.

At the Mercy of Others!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu felt a chill run through her.

Seeing Xiao Wu standing there blankly without moving, Ning Rongrong worriedly reached out, intending to pat Xiao Wu's back and remind her not to linger in this dangerous place.

But after extending her hand, she discovered that it had somehow passed right through Xiao Wu's body!

Xiao Wu was also startled by the half an arm that suddenly appeared in front of her and hurriedly dodged aside.

The two girls stared wide-eyed at each other.

For a moment, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

"I..."

Ning Rongrong blankly raised her hand and waved it through the air, her face full of confusion.

"It should be his Soul Skill."

"When we were attacked just now, Xiao Wu and I saw it clearly from behind. That hammer passed directly through both of your bodies, yet it caused no harm."

Zhu Zhuqing hit the nail on the head, pointing out the abnormality affecting Ning Rongrong. Then, after hesitating briefly, she added:

"This Soul Skill is very powerful. In my eyes, it has almost no weaknesses, so naturally I can't find a way to break it."

"Either we ask the Dean to see whether he can remove it, or we wait."

Zhu Zhuqing looked toward the distance.

She bit off the rest of her sentence halfway through.

But Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu both understood what she meant.

"This is terrible!"

After angrily condemning a certain big bastard a few times, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others hurried toward Shrek Academy.

They were not running toward Shrek Academy to seek refuge.

No one dared claim that they could protect anyone from a Titled Douluo.

Especially when that Titled Douluo was Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo who had once hammered the Pope of Spirit Hall to death.

But Ning Rongrong understood one thing!

Since Lu Yuan had chosen to stay behind alone, he either possessed some special means of saving his life, or he was trying to avoid needless casualties!

No matter which it was, they could not turn back now!

What had happened had already happened. No matter how it ended, the outcome had already been set.

She did not possess the ability or strength to change it.

All she could do was protect herself and her other three companions, preventing unnecessary deaths caused by foolishness!

Within the blood-red giant hammer—

Lu Yuan stood in place, completely unharmed.

His handsome face was filled with helplessness.

"You're making this difficult for me."

"Following the normal procedure, a Soul Ancestor like me should have been smashed into a pile of mush beneath the hammer of a Titled Douluo like you."

"But I don't want to follow that procedure with my life."

"So..."

"How about we each take a step back?"

Tang Hao sneered.

"When you beat up Xiao San during the day, why didn't you think about each taking a step back?"

Lu Yuan smiled and spread his hands.

"See? I'm trying to talk things out nicely, yet you're still acting like this..."

"Fine!"

"Then I'll use another way to communicate with you!"

Lu Yuan raised a hand and rubbed his face, then swept his hair back. With his hands on his hips, he assumed the posture of someone ready to curse in the street.

"Tang Hao!"

"I've given you too much face, haven't I!"

"You can't understand me when I speak properly, and I have to stop talking like a human before you understand!"

"Let me make this clear today!"

"I want to leave, and you can't stop me!"

"If you don't believe me, try it!"
